Prince Harry Apologizes to Canada for Wearing Dodgers Hat at World Series

Prince Harry has issued an apology to Canada after being spotted wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers hat during a World Series game. This incident occurred at Game 4 of the MLB World Series, where he attended the match between the Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Prince Harry’s Apology

The Duke of Sussex jokingly remarked that he was “under duress” when he donned the bright blue cap. He felt compelled to wear it after being invited by the owner of the Dodgers. His choice of headgear drew criticism from Canadians, who felt he did not support the only Canadian team in Major League Baseball.

During a recent interview with CTV, Prince Harry stated, “Firstly, I would like to apologize to Canada for wearing it. Secondly, I was under duress. There wasn’t much choice.” He also mentioned the practical reason behind his choice, stating, “When you’re missing a lot of hair on top, and you’re sitting under flood lights, you’ll take any hat that’s available.”

Support for the Toronto Blue Jays

Looking ahead, Prince Harry committed to wearing a Toronto Blue Jays hat in the future. He expressed his support for the Toronto team during subsequent games. This was highlighted in a social media clip shared by the Duchess of Sussex, showcasing her husband cheering for the Blue Jays following the Dodgers’ victory in Game 7 of the series.

As part of his trip to Canada, he received a Blue Jays hat while interacting with the country’s oldest veterans at Sunnybrook Hospital. His visit coincided with the Remembrance events held throughout the Commonwealth.

Controversy Among Fans

The couple’s appearance at the Dodgers game did not sit well with some fans in the United States. Many took to social media to voice their dissatisfaction with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle receiving prime front-row seats during the 18-inning match. Notable figures, including Magic Johnson and former pitcher Sandy Koufax, were seated behind the couple, further intensifying the fans’ discontent.

Prince Harry’s Reflections

This week, Prince Harry also published an essay titled “What it means to be British.” In this essay, he reflected on British culture, highlighting the importance of banter in pubs and self-deprecating humor in British social life.

Overall, this incident underlines the complexities and expectations surrounding members of the British royal family, particularly in their interactions with Commonwealth nations like Canada.
